Camera shots and angles
•Extreme close up – this is a really detailed shot as it is zoomed in a certain area far too much. This shot limits what the audience can see but is helpful for scenes that are dramatic or upsetting as you can see the actors emotions better.
•Medium close up – this shot is in-between medium and close up shot. It shows the body parts instead of a proper close up shot, showing more of the body language and facial expression.
•Medium shot – this shot is taken from the waist and aren't really good for facial expressions but are effective to capture body language in the scene.
•Long shot – this shot helps you focus more on the subject that is in the shot at that moment. It is effective because it shows the audiences a clear understanding of what is happening in the shot as a whole.
•Very long shot – this is basically like an establishing shot, it is zoomed out to a level where you can’t see everything in a good level of detail. The use of this shot is important if you want to inform your viewer with the location or weather.
•Two shot – a similar shot to wide shot but has two people in the same frame. This could be used for scenes when people are communicating with each other and its effective as you can see their facial expressions and body language at the same time.
• Over the shoulder shot – this shot also includes two people in the same frame but only allowing to see one persons face and body language, this is effective as it looks realistic and more believable.
